Chance for NFB Colorado Amazing Raffle

Greetings Friends and Family:

As you are undoubtedly aware, today is October 25, 2016, and I send you well
wishes on National Greasy Food Day and hope that you celebrate it
accordingly.

October 25th also means that it is a mere four days until we draw the prizes
for this year's Amazing Colorado Raffle brought to you by the National
Federation of the Blind of Colorado.  Like last year, one lucky person will
win $2500, another $1000, and yet another $500.  All you need to do is
purchase tickets and throw your hat in the running.  Tickets cost only $10
for one or get three for $20 or whatever multiple thereof you like.  For
example, $100 will get you 15 tickets in the raffle.  

How do you participate?   

First of all, if you have already participated, we thank you very much, but
if you haven't, participating is easy.  Please go to the following address
and follow the instructions:

www.nfbco.org/amazing-colorado-raffle
<http://www.nfbco.org/amazing-colorado-raffle> 

Please note that your last chance to buy these tickets on line is today and
tomorrow.  We will be closing the online sales by the end of Wednesday,
October 26th.

Why is this important?

I have been a member of the National Federation of the Blind since 1986 when
I was fortunate enough to win a national scholarship from the Federation.
That assistance and the thirty years of support from the organization have
allowed me to live the life I want and become a successful attorney,
husband, and father.  Without the Federation's positive philosophy and
countless positive role models, I would not have the life that I want.

How do the funds from this contest help the Federation specifically?

Well, we use these funds to operate our college scholarship program, provide
Braille Literacy training through our BELL Academies, and issue empowerment
grants to blind individuals.  Other than the cash prizes, 100 percent of the
funds raised go to these programs.

Do I have to be present to win?

Absolutely not!  We will draw the three names Saturday evening, October
29th, at approximately 8:00 pm Mountain as part of our Annual Convention
taking place at the Denver Marriott South which is actually located in Loan
Tree, Colorado.

I thank you in advance for participating in this year's raffle and wish you
luck.  If you need any help in purchasing tickets, please do not hesitate to
email me, slabarre at labarrelaw.com <mailto:slabarre at labarrelaw.com> , or call
us at 303 504-5979.  

Good luck and enjoy your greasy food.  One day of clogged arteries can't be
too bad.  Can it?  

Warmly,

Scott LaBarre

President, NFB of Colorado
